ABOUT RESVERATROL

For years, people have known that the residents of the wine producing regions of France seem to live longer lives than their western counterparts. Many doctors and scientists have theorized that they may be related to their diet, which includes red wine.

Resveratrol is a chemical found in the skin of red wine grapes. It is currently being studied to determine if it may play a significant part in the overall healthy French diet. Some of the theories center on Resveratrol's antioxidant properties. While no clinical studies have been completed on humans, initial studies involving mice and fish have been promising.

Doctors and scientists at Harvard Medical School have been investigating Resveratrol to determine if it has positive health related benefits for people. They are trying to find out if Resveratrol, found in the skin of red wine grapes, may help extend life, prevent cancer and could possibly be used as part of the treatment of Alzheimer's patients.

In 2006, Italian scientists discovered that Resveratrol was able to increase the median lifespan of some species of fish. Other scientists have reported that Resveratrol may counteract the negative effects of a high fat diet on mice.

Back in 1997, a study showed that Resveratrol was able to reduce the incidence of skin cancer in some mice that had been exposed to cancer causing agents. Scientists are now awaiting the results of clinical trials on human beings.

Web MD has reported that scientists are looking at the antioxidants found in common foods, including red wine grapes, to determine if they might have properties that could slow or fight cancer-causing cells.

CNN

In a recent report, CNN noted at least one study showed Resveratrol was able to help mice that were given poor diets remain healthy. They also pointed out that the same study showed these mice seemed to have more athletic energy than similar mice not given Resveratrol.
